Kapitel 38: The Unknown
"What about we return to our reality? It is not as fun in here." Andy looking at his luxury king robe.
"You are a King. Isn't it something that everyone died for?" Rei looked at him incredulously.
"But I prefer out time in university."
Andy stared deeply at Rei's eyes. Rei hurriedly turned his head.
"About your own made System that you said before, is that true?"
"Of course it's true. I'll show you later. What about we return now?" Andy with full spirit stood up and pulled Rei's arms.
"Let's go home."

Rei knocked on the System
<Hey System, I feel like I've been here for a long time now. How about the time flow in my reality world?> Rei was worried about his parents looking for his suddenly disappeared self.
<Don't worry host. 30 days in this system is like 30 minutes in your world.>
Rei nodded his head.
<Then, if I wish to postpone the next task and return to my reality for a while, is that possible?>
<That is possible. However, you should sign a contract that within 3 days of your world time flow, you should return to the System to finish the task.>
<Then, how could I find you?>
<This System will be the one that meet the host.>
Rei thought to himself. He consider all the possibility at hands.
<I agree.>

Before, he was sat on a comfortable large bed. But in a second, he fell with back first on a hard marble floor. Rei groaned while rubbing his back.
"Hey System! Next time give me a warning before you traveled me between reality!" Rei complained. But no one to answer.
Rei was back in Alden's house. He looked at his watch and saw it was already 10 o'clock. Exactly one hour after he left the house to transmigrate into the System.
The ringing was suddenly heard. Rei took out his phone from his pocket. The name Andy was blinking on the screen. Rei considered to answer the call or not. In the end, he missed the ring.
"I'll talk to him later." Rei thought.
Rei stood up. He turned his head and and stared at the blinking figures on the PC.
He exhaled.
"I should make some excuses for not attending my class today."
Rei walked out of the working room and closed the door. He strolled down the stairs and walked towards the living room. He stood in a space room in trance.
"I should go back home now. Tomorrow, I'll visit you."
Rei proceeded to the entrance door. He pulled the knob and walked out. After making sure the door was locked, he strolled out of the yard passing the gate towards the road.
"There you are!" Someone shouting. Rei turned and saw Andy out of breath. He bent his waist, with both hands supported on his knees.
"Why you absent from the morning class?" Andy approached Rei. He put both of his hands on Rei's shoulder.
"How did you know I'm here?" Rei asked suspiciously.
"I'm sorry, I called your home telephone. Your mother answered it."
"You told my Mom that I am not in morning class?" Rei was irritated.
"I'm sorry, you just didn't answer my call. I was worried." Andy answered with regret.
Rei exhaled.
"I don't want to face my mother's rage now."
"Wanna go to my house, then?" Rei realized that he didn't really know anything about the young man in front of him. Even though Andy always acted cheerful and friendly, there always something suspicious about him.
"No, thank you. I'd prefer return home."
"I can introduce you to my System."

The train moved with fast pace. It passed houses and trees. The movement lulled people that sat within the carriage. Rei sat beside the window. He casted glances to the scenery outside, with phone close to his ear.
Rei disconnected his call and put the phone back to his pocket.
"What did your mother said?" Andy asked with curious eyes. He sat next to Rei.
"She was nagging as usual. But she let me to go this time." Rei rubbed his red ears.
"Your ears." Andy pointed. Rei shrugged his shoulder.
"The day is getting colder."
Andy took out his headphone and put it on Rei.
"There." Andy looked smug.
"What's with that self-satisfied face?" Rei laughed.
Andy just showed his smiling face.
"Don't you think we look like having a date?"
Rei choked on his saliva. He coughed violently. His face turning red.
Andy tried to comfort him. He patted his back.
"Are you okay?"
"You should do something about your language use."
"Why?" Andy looked confuse.
"We are not dating." Rei emphasized.
"Yeah, for now." Andy winked. Rei shook his head and threw his gaze outside the window.
'This guy has no shame.'
Five minutes passed. No voice from Andy. Rei glanced to his side and saw Andy was peacefully asleep.
"Are you pretend to sleep, now?" Rei poked his arm.
No answer.
Getting no reaction, Rei looked outside again. His mind was full with questions.
'The distance between T University and Alden's house will take around 1 hour using train. How could Andy suddenly appeared in front of Alden's house?' Rei calculated the timing.
'In addition, the morning class should be ended around 10 am. And Andy was also there in the System with him previously.'
"Don't think too hard." Andy said while patting Rei's arm.
"Some things would be better kept as a secret."
"Can't you tell me, then?" Rei stared into the depth of Andy's eyes.
"You'll regret it. Ignorance is the bliss, anyway."
